With Labor Day weekend now behind us, Pinterest boards and crafty types alike are looking forward to the coming of fall. As the temperature starts to drop, though, heaters turn on and so begins the season of dry skin. Never fret: we’ve put together a few tips to help keep your beautiful skin happy, hydrated, and nourished all season long. Ensure that your face wash isn’t stripping or drying. That squeaky clean effect may feel great, especially in summer, but it can also strip skin of its natural balance- leaving your skin tight and dry. Try a gentle cleanser that includes moisturizing ingredients like Weleda’s Gentle Cleansing...

Sometimes a little “me time” is the perfect escape from a crazy and hectic day. So often, though, we neglect to take care of ourselves because we think we don’t have enough time or money, or we just don’t know what to do. Well here is a suggestion straight from Weleda for your very own 4-step facial. And there’s very little time, money or thought required! End this facial with a cool sensation: run a washcloth through cool water, wring it out, and lay it over your face for five minutes while you rest. Dream of cool water on grand beaches or an open meadow colored by flowers—anywhere that takes you...

Since we first debut our Pomegranate Firming Serum last year, we’ve received many questions about the product and also about caring for aging skin in general. We’ve created this post hoping to tackle the four most commonly asked questions we’ve encountered. Plus, check out our opportunity below for your chance to win a Pomegranate prize: 1) What is a serum? Serums are highly concentrated formulas designed to target specific skin issues. They typically contain an active base of nutrients that are fast-acting and go deep within the layers of your skin. While facial serums can give you added moisture, the...

This week’s blog is a guest blog from Sarah Finnie Robinson and our friends over at Practicallygreen.com . Visit their site to learn more about how you can take simple steps to live a healthy, green lifestyle. Happy Reading! Feeling parched, chapped, and leathery? You’re not alone. As the weather changes, so does skin. This goes for men, too! Before you moisturize, take a moment to consider what’s in the ointments, creams, and oils you’re slathering on your skin—after all, it is your largest organ. It’s a sad but true fact that the cosmetics we use daily can, and often do, contain chemicals that are...

We recently started offering baby massage, and baby massage classes, at our spa in Palisades, NY. I sat down with Patricia Pol, our infant massage therapist and instructor, to ask her about the benefits of massaging your baby. Little did I know there would be so many! Here's what she told me. Me: What are the benefits of baby massage? Patricia: There are so many! Massage helps improve your baby’s sleeping patterns and digestion. It can also ease congestion and soothe babies with colic. Using long strokes helps with muscle coordination and aids development. It can even help them build up the strength in their neck,...

We get a lot of questions about our Children’s Tooth Gel. When to use it? Is it safe? We think you should start as soon as the teeth show up, but it’s a good idea to get infants used to the idea of teeth brushing before you begin. You can do this by first wrapping a piece of wet gauze around your finger and using it on their gums. Then you can move on to a little finger brush with a dot of Children’s Tooth Gel. The parents who call are always happy to hear that our Children’s Tooth Gel is safe to swallow. And kids love the taste. Becket, pictured, the son of our sales manager Gannon, is 14-months-old and, as his mom puts it,...

Amazing!!! I have dry skin overall, but am oily in my T zone sometimes. I have a little eczema on my face and am getting older, so I have those trouble spots - you know what I'm talking about if you're older. I am in love with this product, it's the first time I have found something that actually feels like it deeply and truly revitalizing my skin. It smoothes things out and if I decide not to wear makeup on the weekend and put this on after my shower, my face looks like it's glowing (and stays soft all day). It is seriously refreshing to have found this.I have been using it about 3 times a week and it's a miracle for me this winter. Don't ever get rid of this product, please!!!

I just started using the White Mallow facial cream (baby derma) on my adult skin, and I can't thank you enough for this product. I have sensitive and very dry skin, on top of living in Minnesota which has one of the coldest driest and longest winters in the country. Since using the White Mallow facial cream, my skin has felt soft and moisturized all day, and I only need to apply the cream once a day, which is unheard of for me in the winter; usually I need to re-apply a few times. This is remarkable given that I spend a lot of time in the cold winter windchill, as I bus all over the city every day. All that AND the cream is fragrance free, which is a must with my sensitive skin. My skin also looks so much healthier, and I have fewer blemishes. Prior to this, I had used the same facial lotion for a year, and while it moisturized well, it made my skin look red and very dull for some reason. I wish I had tried this Weleda product much sooner. It's so uplifting to see that my facial skin looks healthy again and that it even can look healthy in the winter even despite the dry weather. I hope Weleda continues this specific product for a LONG time! Thank you!
